Creative Writing

Creative writing programs at the University of Southern Indiana provide focused coursework for students interested in writing poetry, fiction, creative non-fiction, playwriting and screen writing. Creative writing faculty are published writers committed to undergraduate writing excellence and their craft.

The English Department offers a major in English with a creative writing emphasis, as well as a minor and a certificate in creative writing.

The major in English with a creative writing emphasis culminates in a Bachelor of Arts degree, which requires 12 semester hours in the same foreign language or demonstration of proficiency at that level of study.
